Hello fellow acne fighters
I'm 16 and am Suffering from nodulistic acne.I have tried so many creams and what not but nothing seems to have an affect on my nodules.I seem to only get them on both of my cheeks which is the worst place for them as everyone sees them clearly there.I am really really embarrassed of them and can't even look people in the face anymore which is the worst part of it all.I started on isotrotenoin about one and a half months ago and until now i see very little if not no improvements.My dose is 20 mg and i take 2 daily.It always itches and i hate touching my skin.Right when i thought it would improve another nodule turned up.Please tell me from your experiences when i really will see improvements and if the dose is too low and how many doses there are.

Have you tried an oral anti biotic yet?you should go to your dr realy and discuss a course of action,something down the lines of an oral anti biotic,lymecycline,this type.

Why would he take antibiotics if he's already on Isotretinoin?

The only thing you can do is be patient, like you said, you're with one month and a half, you can see real improvements and complete cleaning of your skin with at least 3 months.
